Even if code was a solved problem, I feel like that's kind of irrelevant because users don't buy code, they buy a product, and the actual code is far from the hardest part of making a successful product.

"The reason LLMs are successful in writing code is because we’ve made a feedback loop that feeds the errors back to the LLM and loops until most errors are solved or hidden. Remember that LLMs can and do cheat too."
I've heard, and somewhat seen, that AI makes more code than necessary when fed large code bases. Then the context window isn't big enough to encompass the whole thing anymore, so it starts to create the issues you'll make it solve later. This feedback loop manifests in longer debug times, prompt adjustments, and greater lack of understanding overall.

DHHs takes are hilarious lately. This is one of the things he was saying recently. How coding is solved. Lol.
replies:
He has couple great points.
Hobby project coding is solved.
Anything else isn't.
I think he made it too long of an article and lost people 1/4th in. With current attention span it should be cut up into separate segments.

It is. I don't read garbage slop.
